Marketing automation is the way to utilize your customer data to create relevant customer experiences at scale. You can send the right messages to the right people at the right moment – with virtually no effort. Talk to, inspire, and keep your customers based on who they are and how they connect with your brand.

The primary function of marketing automation in e-commerce is to map out and design the customer journey – and have it run itself without manual work! That means you can allocate your marketing resources to grow your business in other areas. Pretty sweet. Here are four major reasons why automated communication is a must:
Scalability
Most e-commerce players are looking for new ways to scale their businesses. With marketing automation, you can create engaging one-to-one communication for every single customer – and that will lead to increased revenue.
Save time
“Save time with our platform” is probably the oldest trick in the book – but we must address it. With marketing automation flows, you can communicate with your customers without any manual work. As a big plus, the automation building tool in Voyado is both smart and intuitive. That helps, trust us.
Be super personal
One of the greatest benefits of marketing automation is to create hyper-personalized communication. You can, for example, build a workflow that is triggered when a customer buys a specific product. You can then give customers instruction on how to use the product, follow up with recommended products, or trigger a gamification campaign that is related to the product they just bought.
“Save” revenue with abandoned cart automation
For e-com, this is a huge deal! A lot of customers leave products in their online shopping carts and thanks to marketing automation – it’s easy to send follow-up messages to remind shoppers of what they left behind.
